If I could somehow duplicate myself and pit my sam vs my sam with lesser gear, the version of me using the better geared me would crush the other me.
I'll pass on the idiot with good gear and the smart guy with average gear and instead take the left out party, the smart guy with good gear.
Of course, but that was a process, wasn't it? You didn't hit 75 and instantly become an uber player in uber gear, did you? Most likely not. Instead you kept working and learning and evolved into that smart player with great gear.
Too many endgame shells have forgetten their own roots. They expect you to be flawlessly dressed before your admittance will be considered. Too much value is put onto the gear itself. So few are willing to accompany you through that process anymore.
